Senate Chamber, Atlanta, Georgia, Thursday, June 12, 1969.

Pursuant to a proclamation of His Excellency, Governor Lester Maddox, the Senate met in extraordinary session this morning at 10:00 o'clock, and was called to order by the president.

The following proclamation by His Excellency, Governor Lester Maddox, was read by the secretary:

BY THE GOVERNOR:

WHEREAS: Accelerated demands are being placed upon State and local governments as a result of rapidly increasing populations and concurrent sociological and technological changes in our society; and

WHEREAS: Failure to recognize and fulfill the needs of Georgia's citizens through appropriate legislative action would surely precipitate a crisis of almost unmanageable proportions, jeopardizing the previous investments and future hopes of literally thousands of Georgians who have placed their confidence and trust in the ability of their government to protect their interests and provide the necessary facilities and services to assure the continuation of peace, tranquility, progress and prosperity in this State; and

WHEREAS: There exists absolutely no justification for State Gov ernment not providing measures to prevent disruptions in its services to the people; and

WHEREAS: The Appropriations Act of 1969 for Fiscal Year 1970 fails to provide any construction funds for public education to meet the needs of anticipated enrollment growth, which enrollment is expected to increase by approximately 84,000 from the fall of 1968 to the fall of 1972; and
WHEREAS: No funds whatsoever are provided by said Appropria tions Act to construct additional dormitories and classrooms to accom modate the spiraling enrollments in the University System of Georgia, which enrollment is expected to increase some 27,000 from the fall of 1968 to the fall of 1972; and
WHEREAS: Georgia's teachers, professors, state employees and essential city and county employees have not been provided with costof-living salary increases which they need and deserve, thereby reducing their competitive position in attracting and retaining such employees; and
WHEREAS: A reduction in the pupil-teacher ratio in the elementary grades, deemed essential if our children are to receive the educational foundation required to enable them to benefit maximally from further education, has not been provided for; and

2142

JOURNAL OP THE SENATE,

WHEREAS: Continued threats to the safety and welfare of Geor gia's peace-loving people have created an urgent and imminent need for enlarging and strengthening the Georgia State Patrol and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation; and

WHEREAS: Critical shortages of regional medical facilities, per sonnel, and support funds threaten to further debilitate and degrade those of our citizens whose misfortunes have rendered them unable to function and to provide for themselves; and

WHEREAS: It is considered intolerable, inhumane and improvident, to further delay needed reforms in our penal system, which, at a mini mum, require the provisions of adequate maximum security, pre-release and work-release facilities and specialized institutions which meet th& requirements of modern rehabilitation expectations; and

WHEREAS: A number of Examining Boards deemed desirableand necessary and, heretofore, created by law, have not been funded in order that they might carry out their appointed duties; and

WHEREAS: Local governments in the State of Georgia, in many instances, are facing financial crises of mammoth proportions with a revenue gap of some eight hundred million dollars expected to have accrued by 1976 with services to the people being provided at a con tinuation level only; and

WHEREAS: Many of these governments are not able to provide adequate facilities and services to assure their growth through industrial expansion; and

WHEREAS: Ad valorem taxes placed upon property owners, small and large, represent a major and disproportionate share of the costs, of financing city and county governments; and

WHEREAS: The State of Georgia has failed to provide adequate means of relief to these local governments and ad valorem taxpayers; and

WHEREAS: It is self-evident that these needs of the people re quire immediate and positive action by members of the General Assembly of Georgia; and

WHEREAS: It is generally acknowledged that, unless action is forthcoming in an extraordinary session of the General Assembly, Georgia's serious needs as enumerated are doomed to remain unmet for at least two years, thereby creating severe and lasting damage to Georgia's position as an educational, cultural and industrial leader of the Southeast; and

WHEREAS: Duty demands that decisions affecting the health, welfare and security of Georgia's citizens be made without regard to. personal and political considerations.

THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1969

2143

NOW, THEREFORE: Upon consideration of the premises stated, and pursuant to and by virtue of the power and authority conferred upon me by the Constitution of Georgia as set forth in Article V, Section I, Paragraph XII, I, Lester G. Maddox, Governor of Georgia, do hereby convoke and call a meeting of the General Assembly of Georgia in extraordinary session at 10:00 A.M., Eastern Daylight Time, on Thurs day, the 12th day of June, 1969, for the purpose of considering and enacting legislation by revision, repeal, amendment or otherwise, relat ing only to the purposes and objects specifically stated as follows, which are concluded by me as chief executive of this State to be of sufficient importance to demand the necessity of such extraordinary session of the General Assembly of Georgia, to wit:

The hour for convening the joint session of the Senate and House having arrived, the president, accompanied by the secretary and the senators, proceeded to the hall of the House of Representatives. The joint session, called for the purpose of hearing a message by His Excellency, the Governor, was called to order by the president of the Senate.

The doorkeeper announced His Excellency, the Governor, and his committee of escort at the door, and awaited the pleasure of the General Assembly.

The president directed the doorkeeper to admit the distinguished guests, and they were admitted.

The secretary read the resolution providing for the joint session.

The president introduced the Governor, who addressed the General Assembly with the following remarks:

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR SMITH, SPEAKER SMITH, DIS TINGUISHED MEMBERS OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEM BLY, HONORED GUESTS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE RADIO AND TELEVISION AUDIENCE, MY FRIENDS, FELLOW GEORGIANS AND MY FELLOW AMERICANS:

I have called for this Extraordinary Session of the Georgia General Assembly because our State is confronted with extraordinary problems--

Problems of a magnitude to merit the undivided attention of each and every one of us who is privileged to serve a great people in a great State in such a high capacity.
We are here because critical and immediate needs of State Government demand action now.
We are here because spiraling ad valorem taxes make it impera tive that we provide relief for overburdened property owners.
We are here because duty demands that we provide adequate, longoverdue financial assistance to Georgia's cities and counties.
In the long, soul-searching deliberations which preceded this his toric day, the possible consequences of various avenues of action were carefully weighed and evaluated. I am gratified by the consistent and unwavering dedication to duty which has been exhibited time and time again in recent weeks by members of this esteemed body as we sat together in councils, large and small, to deliberate the common fate of more than four and one-half million Georgians.
Surely such responsibility weighs heavily upon all of us.
Surely such knowledge disallows the consideration of personal or political concerns.
Surely such a privilege humbles us all.

2156

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

I am acutely aware of the inconvenience--yes, even the hardships-- imposed upon you by the call of this special session.

But, I also am firmly convinced that the personal costs to us for having taken this action are almost inconsequential when compared to
the price which all Georgians would have to pay if we failed to take positive action now.

The question of whether or not we should have this special session and the question of whether or not we should raise taxes pale into insignificance when placed alongside these overpowering considerations:

What are the needs of this great State, her citizens, her cities and her counties?

What is our duty?
Will we exercise the necessary courage and foresight to meet our responsibilities?

These are the pertinent questions.

It has been made clear to me, just as it has to many of you, to
many educators, city and county officials and rank and file citizens that the Appropriations Act for Fiscal 1970 fails to meet the needs of Georgia's citizens, and, if allowed to stand, unamended, would surely
bring about a crisis of awesome magnitude, jeopardizing previous investments and future hopes of literally thousands of our people, young and old, black and white, rich and poor, who have placed their
confidence and trust in the ability of their government to protect their interest and to provide the necessary facilities and services to assure the continuation of peace, tranquility, progress and prosperity which are necessary for the health, happiness and welfare of all citizens.

Further, steps must be taken to insure the fiscal stability of local governments and to give substantial relief to farmers, homeowners and other property owners who have been too long overburdened by
the weight of ever-increasing ad valorem taxes. As we stand today, no letup or relief is in sight unless we, as elected leaders of the people, exercise the foresight and courage to bring about that relief, and do
it now.

My oath requires that I shall "faithfully execute" my duties as Governor and that I shall "preserve, protect and defend" Georgia's Constitution. The preamble of that great document states in the clearest
terms the purposes of government:

"... free government . . . justice to all ... peace . . . happiness of the citizens . . . posterity . . . enjoyment of liberty. . ."

For any governor, whoever he might be, to ignore the obvious dangers of failing to do everything within his power to maintain

THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1969

2157

the stability and financial integrity of state government which has been entrusted to him and which he has sworn to uphold, would be a clear case of impeachable cowardice.

Since it is generally acknowledged that unless action is forth coming in this special session of the 1969 General Assembly, and the implementation of these vital programs could be delayed two or more years, our duty is all the more clear.

This is the year, the month, the day and the hour for action.

Deliberations are expected.

Compromises may be necessary.

But, a failure to act, and to act positively, would represent an unforgivable violation of the trust which has been placed in us.

I have every confidence in the integrity and devotion to duty of this august body not to do what is necessarily politic or popular, but what is right.

With your help, we have implemented efficiency in government and we are constantly seeking new ways to insure that the Georgia taxpayer gets full value for every dollar, every dime and every penny that is paid into the State treasury.

Millions of dollars have been reclaimed from unsound manage ment practices and channeled into better services for our citizens.

Through our new Management Review Section of the Budget

Bureau, we are constantly working with the various agencies of State

government on problems of cost control, and our efforts in this area

continue to produce substantial savings by eliminating waste, duplica

tion and inefficiency.

.



But, efficiency, alone, as helpful and necessary as it is, will not

do the job by itself.

.

..

Tremendous progress has been made in education and most of you have been a part of it, but our gains and our investments are now jeopardized unless we provide adequate funding. Even though some .1,054 school buildings in use in Georgia today were built prior to World War II, making it necessary for thousands of Georgia young sters to attend school in obsolete, unsafe, overcrowded and inadequate buildings, even though enrollments in our public schools will increase by more than 100,000 from the fall of 1968 to the fall of 1973, not one cent for construction of additional classrooms is provided in the fiscal 1970 education, budget.

My friends, to put this in an even clearer perspective, to ac commodate these 100,000 children will require 4,000 school teachers, 4,000 school rooms or the equivalent of 160 25-room school buildings.

2158

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

Enrollment in our University System is expected to increase by an estimated 30,000 from the fall of 1968 to the fall of 1973--an increase which, alone, approximates the total enrollment in the year 1960.

Recognizing these facts for what they are, we cannot afford to declare a moratorium on school and university building construction for even one month, much less one or two years.

Therefore, I am recommending that lease rental funds for the construction of 35 million dollars worth of new school buildings and 40 million in new university classrooms and dormitories be added to the fiscal 1970 budget.

Georgia's position for qualified teachers and professors has never been better in our State's history, but it is foolhardy to expect that we can maintain this position without providing our educators with attrac tive and competitive salaries.

When we consider the progressive moves being made by other states in this area, coupled with the increasing attractiveness of salaries and fringe benefits in other professions, it becomes evident that a failure to be competitive for even a short time could do irrepar able damage to the educational progress of which we are all so proud.

Although we have other programs that need to be expanded or implemented in education, it is my judgment and that of others, that there is no need in education more critical than that of reducing the
pupil-teacher ratio. Therefore, I am recommending that five and onehalf million dollars be appropriated to reduce the pupil-teacher ratio in those grades where the needs are most critical. This action is absolutely essential if we are to adequately prepare our younger stu dents for the difficult grades ahead and reduce our dropout rate.

I am recommending funds to assure an average salary increase of seven percent for teachers, for academic personnel in our University System, and for other State employees.

To meet the requirements of Federal minimum wage laws and to provide increases comparable to those of other employees, I am recommending funds to assure a ten percent salary increase for nonacademic university personnel.

These requested adjustments are considerably below what is taking place in many of our sister states. They fall short of meeting increased living costs. It would be best if we could do more; we cannot afford to do less.

Our sister states in the southeast have realized that they must meet the demands for services which a modern state government must provide if it is to retain its sovereignty and its identity. They have squarely faced the dilemma posed by the fact that, in order to provide these services, increased funds are necessary.

THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1969

2159

South Carolina has raised its sales tax from three percent to four percent, and Kentucky, from three percent to five percent; North Carolina has raised its gasoline tax to provide an additional 50 million dollars annually. With these actions, Florida, Alabama and South Carolina now have a four percent sales tax, and Mississippi and Kentucky have a five percent sales tax.

The decision to raise taxes is a difficult one, but let us not look at taxes alone; rather, let us concentrate on what we plan to do with the monies resulting from taxes, for the people will judge us not only by the tax rate, but by the quality and quantity of services which we, their elected representatives, have provided.

We must have these funds if we are to provide Georgia's children with the quality of education which they need and deserve, and if we are to provide all our citizens with the quality of other State services which they need and deserve.

The quality of government services is directly related to the quality of the people involved in rendering the service. It is, therefore, im perative that we have the ability to attract and retain in our service the very highest quality of personnel. In education and in the govern
ment service, we must pay a State employee for his services and pro tect our employees from the erosive effects of higher costs of living and inflation. Unless we do this, we will not only fail to attract new employees, but will lose the ones we now have to our competition.

Other states have realized this and are taking action. Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina are raising their state employees' salaries by ten percent or more. Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, and Alabama are raising salaries by five percent or more. In schools and universities, Alabama is granting a 12.9 percent salary increase to its teachers, Florida is increasing the pay of its teachers and academic personnel by ten percent, Kentucky is increasing the salaries of its university personnel by eight percent and its teachers by $600.00 per year, North Carolina is increasing salaries of its academic university personnel by eight percent and its teachers by ten percent, and South Carolina is increasing the salaries of the academic university personnel by ten percent and teachers by $800.00 per year.

Our programs in education and in governmental services have been steadily growing and improving. We cannot afford to drop behind now, for it will be far, far more expensive to catch up than it is to retain our present position.

To help insure the proper maintenance of our more than 400 million dollar investment in university facilities, I am recommending that one million dollars in capital outlay funds be appropriated for this purpose.

Now, I will discuss other important needs of this State:

For the aged, blind and disabled, I am recommending a one million dollar appropriation which, when matched with available Federal funds,

2160

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

will provide an additional 24 dollars per year in benefits. This modest increase will more than offset the proposed sales tax increase for these 130,000 low-income citizens. As you will recall the 1970 Appro priations Act provided a similar increase in aid dependent children.

I am further recommending 60 new positions to establish a 40-hour work week at our youth institutions, and also funds to construct and equip a new SO-bed Regional Youth Detention Center in West Georgia.

Prison reformation has finally come alive in the State of Georgia, and with your help and support more has been done in the past 30 months than in the previous 30 years. But, we are all aware that we are still far from meeting the basic needs in this field.

One pressing need which we can no longer ignore is the deplorable condition of the women's prison at Central State Hospital. Years ago, this facility was constructed for housing male inmates. It is totally inadequate for a women's prison in its present condition. For these reasons, I am recommending funds to renovate, enlarge and modernize this facility.

In keeping with the Maddox Administration's penal reform pro gram, I further recommend:

The building of three specialized penal institutions, the construction of a work-release/pre-release center and the construction of an absolute ly essential maximum security facility at our Reidsville institution.

This latter facility will permit the separation of hardened and difficult to handle prisoners from those who can be rehabilitated.

Until this is done, this institution will continue to be a breeding place for crime.

In the field of mental health, I am recommending the appropriation of funds for the construction of a 300-bed Regional Hospital at Colum bus, a 300-bed Regional Hospital, combined with a 400-bed TB facility, in Rome, and additional funds for day-care centers for the mentally retarded.

And, since county welfare workers have been under the State

Employees Health Insurance Program for two years, I am recommend

ing that funds be provided to also bring the county health employees

under this program.

'



:

To continue the great progress we have made in public health and hospital care in this State and to meet the health needs of our fellow citizens, it is my judgment that we cannot allow a gap to occur in this important area of service.

Illness does not wait for an opportune time to strike; neither must

the remedies.

; .' '

THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1969

2161

. To help nieet the growing need for beds and other hospital facili ties, I am recommending an additional one million dollars in State funds to assist in the construction of Hill-Burton Hospitals.

With increasing demands being placed on State Highway Patrolmen by continued civil unrest and duties other than in the field of traffic law enforcement, our present force is not adequate to wage war against the mounting number of accidents resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives, thousands of injuries and millions of dollars in property damage.

To help correct this situation, and to provide the citizens of this State with the protection needed and expected, I am recommending that funds be appropriated for 100 additional troopers.

I am also recommending funds for 10 additional GBI personnel to form a narcotics squad to deal with an ever-increasing state-wide threat to our young people by illegal drug traffic.

We cannot continue to stand by and do nothing1 while the lives of hundreds -- perhaps thousands -- of Georgia's children are washed into the gutters of narcotics addiction.

In the interest of the farmers and consumers of this State, and recognizing the importance of agriculture to our overall economy, I am recommending that authority lease rental funds in the amount of $300,000 be appropriated to finance a new farmers market at Thomasville and new market facilities at Macon, Augusta, Cordele and Savan
nah.

Due to the element of time, I will not go into detail on other important agency needs, but you will find them in the budget document on your desk. These, too, deserve your sincere and careful consideration.

So does the pressing need of providing long overdue assistance to Georgia's cities and counties and ad valorem tax relief to the farmers, homeowners, businessmen and other property owners.
Many local governments in this State are confronted with serious financial difficulties and will continue to suffer more and more unless State Government faces up to its responsibility to local citizens--to Georgians who have invested their life's work and, indeed, a part of themselves in their communities.
Local governments, large and small, are going to have to have more money, if they are to survive, and the citizen who owns a home, a farm, a store, or other real property must be given relief from being burdened with more than his just share of the costs of local government and education.
Property owners are fed up, and many of them have a right to be.
They are at the point of revolting. Bond issues are being turned down left and right, not just here in Georgia, but throughout the United States.

2162

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

Elected officials are being turned out of office by the same voters.

With the wave of ad valorem tax increases going over our State, and with the reactions I have been getting- from our citizens, I have no doubt that unless we do something in this special session to help cities and counties and to give some relief to the property owners, 1970 is going to be known as a year long-remembered in Georgia political history.

I am recommending that of the present appropriations going to cities and counties that you continue to appropriate 9.3 million dollars of these funds to cities and 9.3 million dollars to counties, and an additional fifty and one-half million dollars to cities and counties. This amount is estimated to be equal to one-half of the one cent sales tax increase which is being proposed, and will be distributed to cities and counties on a per capita basis.

There are thousands of essential city and county employees who have their eyes turned to us today--firemen, policemen, clerks, hospital workers -- all of them expecting us to assist their local governments in providing the means whereby they can receive increased cost of living salary adjustments in line with those being provided elsewhere.

In discussing earlier the needs of our school systems, I purposely delayed until now a major recommendation that I am making to you today.

Under the Minimum Foundation Program of education, I am recommending 28.3 million dollars for use by local school systems. This amountincludes funds to increase M & 0 from $1,050 to $1,350-- an additional 9.5 million dollars.

Further, I am recommending 14 million dollars under Section 23, which does not require any local effort. I am also requesting that you amend Section 23 so that funds granted to school systems under this Section may be used without restrictions.

To summarize funds that will be made available to the local units of government and to local school systems, 28.3 million dollars will go to local school systems under the Minimum Foundation Program; 14 million dollars will go to local school systems under Section 23; and grants to cities and counties will be increased by 44.5 million dollars. This adds up to a total of 86.8 million dollars.
These additional funds going to Georgia's local school systems and local governments will help to provide revenue for adequate highways, water and sewerage systems, fire and police protection, and educational, recreational and health facilities needed to attract industry and thus assure every Georgia community a share in the growth and prosperity of this mighty State.
Although the appropriation of these additional millions of dollars to cities, counties and local school systems might not guarantee the

THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1969

2163

people of this State a reduction in current ad valorem taxes, failure to make these funds available will guarantee all owners of real property that these additional tens of millions of dollars will be added onto their ad valorem tax bills.

It is our duty, as State officials, to make these funds available.

It is the duty of local officials to use some of these funds to help relieve the plight of the ad valorem taxpayer.

It is the duty of the ad valorem taxpayer to insist that once these funds are appropriated that they are used to help relieve the burden of the home owner, the farm owner and other owners of real property.

My proposal to you for financing this program is as follows:

101 million dollars in additional revenue to be derived from the increase in the sales tax from three to four percent; 15 million dollars from the revision I will propose in the personal income tax law. This totals 116 million dollars in new revenue. I propose to adjust the revenue estimate for fiscal 1969 from 810 to 820 million dollars -- a ten million dollar increase. And I propose to you the release of 5.9 million dollars now appropriated to cities and counties. These com bined proposals would result in making available $131,900,000 for appropriation at this session.

Now let me summarize the proposals I have made for the ap propriating of the above funds: 50.5 million dollars to cities and counties; 50 million dollars for public education below the university level; 9.5 million dollars in additional funds for our University System; 21.6 million dollars to Public Safety, Family and Children Services, Public Health, Corrections and the 50 other agencies of state govern ment.

Our advances in education, our industrialization breakthrough, what we have accomplished in the fields of penal reform and mental health -- these things did not just happen. They were planned. They were implemented by you and others who sat in these chairs where
you sit today.

Georgia today is a leader, and you and others who have filled those important chairs had the foresight and courage that brought us to this peak of progress. We are a leader among the states. We have been meeting our duty to our boys and girls.

We have been meeting our duty to all the citizens of this wonderful State.

Georgia is the envy of our sister states . . .

She is looked upon nationally as a State on the go.

2164

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

Her needs as I have presented them to you, are as they exist today.
